	11:11am thornyredhead: Very Morning, much yawn
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Jack! How goes?
	11:12am thornyredhead: Very clam, much pizza
	11:12am Montmaster J: Rabies! Very cool.
	11:13am thornyredhead: Why do some people have icons next to them? (mini radio, mini heart)
	11:13am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	11:14am Hughie Considine: @thorn, it means they contributed to the Pledge Drive.
	11:14am Hoboken Jack: Thorny, it's the level of support from the last fundraising marathon.
	11:15am Martinibomb: Sounding terrific! hi Michael
	11:16am Eddy in Australia: Hi, it's 1:15am, Saturday night/Sunday morning here.
	11:17am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hi, Michael and folx of the WFMU realm!
	11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Shelleys & all!
	11:18am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): thornyredhead: the radio denotes a Swag-For-Life supporter—super fun way to support WFMU!
	11:18am Frank In Queens: Oh! My Juniper record arrived yesterday!
	11:19am thornyredhead: Oh ok
	11:20am irma: hey hippies
	11:20am Michael Shelley: Spazz played your track Frank!
	11:21am badass.bish190: I miss Stashu
	11:23am allie: not necessarily so. I'm a supporter, and I never heard of that before about the icons. but of course I'm a relative newbie.
	11:23am Frank In Queens: Ah, cool!
	11:24am Hughie Considine: How'd I miss the belch? dang
	11:24am GFaulkner: ding dang, you mean
	11:24am Frank In Queens: Allie, if you set up a log-in for the comments board and link with your listener number, it'll show the icons.
	11:25am Hughie Considine: hehe...I'd love to hear a mix of songs with coughs, belches, etc. They are plentiful!
	11:27am Listener Baby: Baby. James Hand?
	11:28am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): @allie and @thornyredhead: there's also an option to not show the icon, if you are a modest sort. :)
	11:29am Handy Haversack: The shipping dept. at MS HQ is on its game!
	11:30am Hughie Considine: Can surely relate to the waking up in the middle of the night and the subsequent brain churning...
	11:31am Frank In Queens: I used to hate it too when I was young, for exactly the reasons you just said Juniper! Now, I can appreciate it, but I don't ever need to see it again.
	11:31am Ira: Georgia saw 2001 for the first time on the seat-back screen on an airplane. She liked it.
	11:31am ?: Associate producer should read the "2001" book. It explains the plot in a way the movie doesn't.
	11:31am Handy Haversack: I tune in for the controversial takes! Recently rewatched FNL -- good stuff.
	11:32am myron feld: Friday Night Lights is one of the best ever.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: If a movie needs to have its plot explained in a book, that does not speak well for the movie.
	11:32am Michele with One "L": OBSESSED with the show Friday Night Lights!!!!!!
	11:32am paul: 2001 was released when I was 14. Saw it again many years later and liked it much more.
	11:32am ?: "Friday Night Lights" is terrific
	11:32am egould310: I once took three hits of acid and watched 2001 at the Cineradome one afternoon. Mind. Blown.
	11:33am Michele with One "L": Hi Juniper!
	11:33am rw: Hello! My son used to say, "Dad, can you put on a boring movie so I can fall asleep? But NOT 2001!!)
	11:33am Christina Low: It can be a boring film, I'll give Juniper that. However, I'm a HUGE fan of Kubrick and his placement of music.
	11:33am myron feld: The book "Friday Night Lights" is also highly recommended.
	11:33am jake6573: Can understand Juniper not liking, suffice to say it is one of the greatest movies ever.
	11:34am scott: Did someone program HAL to take over the mission?
	11:34am Dean: 2001 was released when I was 8 or 9. Saw it then and again ten years later at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Stunning, unsurpassed.
	11:34am Mr. Fine Wine: Sorry for the nitpicking, but that should be Chuck McLEAN on the playlist.
	11:34am Dean: (Caveat: I generally do not like movies.)
	11:34am Goyim in the AM: Saw 2001 for the first time when I was 11 when it was re-released in the 80s. I loved it instantly, my three same-age friends I saw it with were all Team Juniper.
	11:35am Marley P. Dogg: Michele! Great shut up weirdo last night!
	11:36am myron feld: @Fine Wine: Chuck McCann was pretty great in his own right.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Barry Lyndon might be a poor next choice then.
	11:36am rw: Is that garlic on that pizza?
	11:36am Greg from ZONE 5: WFMU is a democracy, and democracy is hard.
	11:36am Dean: Ha! I love Barry Lyndon, too.
	11:36am allie: Frank in Queens, maybe, there are two comments boards. the one you click on from the homepage as you say. but I use the one with the grey panels. I rarely chim in on the comments anyway.
	11:36am paul: Stanley Kubrick films are definitely not geared toward teens.
	11:36am GListener MW: !!’ This is amazing! (Adderall Girl)
	11:37am rw: FMU is a democracy? The Shining is perfect for teens!!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Not sure Allie. I'm always on the playlist of the show I'm listening to and comment there.
	11:37am happymaan: I'm just checking in. I'm currently the passenger in a car so I have no radio choosing privileges. wanted to say hi to Micheal and the rest of y'all. wish I could be listening now. be well.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: @Handy, Barry Lyndon has a fairly straightforward human plot. I would think it would go down better with someone who doesn't dig long takes without much dialogue or action.
	11:37am Dean: Oh, I don't know. Clockwork Orange can hit the spot for teens.
	11:38am Ralphus: “2001: A Space Odyssey” from 1968 is still the best science fiction film ever made. That’s an unfortunate fact. And, btw, it’s not a pretentious film - it’s a serious film, a drama, and way ahead if its time. Hell, they have iPads in that film. iPads!
	11:38am myron feld: I saw Clockwork Orange when I was 15 and I dug the heck out of it.
	11:38am Hoboken Jack: I'd like to hear a Rabies/Raybeats double shot. Or Rabies/Babys/Babies triple shot.
	11:38am scott: Kubrick hacked an camera and lens to get those 'Barry Lyndon' low and available light shots
	11:38am David Shortell: I disliked 2001 when I first saw it. I guess like most 12-year-olds, I was hoping for something more like Star Wars. Now it's a favorite.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: Deliverance and Clockwork Orange were shown as a double feature back in the day. Can you imagine sitting through Deliverance and then watching Clockwork?
	11:39am paul: You're all a bunch of droogies, then. :)
	11:39am Dean: I like Barry Lyndon precisely because it has almost no plot and it just sort of drifts along.
	11:39am Pedro in Arlington: Not a big fan of 2001 the year either. 2020 better have a strong finish beginning around Nov. 3.
	11:40am Ross T.: I salute the young people with the Beach Boys in their Top 5.
	11:40am Torin: Thank you Michael!!! Such a thrill! Loving the whole show btw.
	11:41am David Shortell: I heard the movie Barry Lyndon was lit with candlelight!
	11:41am Listener Baby: Saw Clockwork with my kid the other week. A solid hour too long. Yikes.
	11:42am Montmaster J: Well, that just like your opinion man.
	11:42am Mr. Fine Wine: With ya on Lebowski
	11:42am Dean: True, David Shortell. One or two scenes.
	11:42am Hughie Considine: I think Kubrick had special lenses made so he could use candlelight in the interior scenes...
	11:43am scott: The janitor in my building is also an acclaimed critic. My apologies to all janitors.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: Lebowski certainly contains one of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's greatest humorous turns.
	11:44am Christina Low: I could take or leave TBL as well. Others don't agree with my stance, but I stand by it.
	11:44am scott: ...the Dude abides.
	11:44am Hoboken Jack: Ah that's sad! I hadn't heard of James Hand before your interview (though I guess I saw him in Friday Night Lights) and I bought an album soon thereafter.
	11:45am paul: Lebowski and Pulp Fiction: hugely overrated.
	11:45am Joe B: I'm with Juniper re 2001. It can be both things - an all-time great film and one that I have no interest in ever watching again.
	11:45am Kevin: Thanks Michael. Fantastic show (and great to hear the Rabies on it!)
	11:46am scott: Who are you an apostle of, Paul?
	11:46am Ciggy: What's not to get about The Big Lebowski? The Dude Loves Credence and Hates The Eagles - as do I.
	11:46am clarke: you knew a Lebowski discussion would get me out of bed! in MY world TBL is more important than 2001 - but, they are both up there.
	11:46am paul: The Beatles
	11:47am Handy Haversack: I think Stalker also ought to be there in the best SF movies conversation.
	11:47am clarke: ..also dude: the bongo feet.
	11:48am Mailman Tom: We went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey twice at the Capital Theater in NYC back when it premiered in 1968. One of the greatest films ever made, IMO.
	11:48am Listener Baby: Whoa??
	11:48am Frank In Queens: You may have to be or may have to have been a stoner to be a fan of Lebowski.
	11:49am paul: Michael and Juniper: Watch Paths of Glory. Early Kubrick masterpiece.
	11:49am Frank In Queens: *had to have been
	11:49am clarke: nope frank - it is just a good film
	11:49am Joe B: I'm on board with Lebowski, but, like Neil Young's '80s albums, I'm not going to try to convert anyone. Your loss.
	11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i've personally enjoyed all of the movies mentioned here, and most of them i do not wish to watch again. I'm of the opinion that if you didn't see the movie in a cinema on a huge screen with at least decent sound, you didn't really see it (just like if you saw a picture of the Mona Lisa—even in a beautifully printed coffee table book— you didn't really see the painting) <3
	11:49am Frank In Queens: Oh, I'm a fan clarke! I'm also an ex-stoner.
	11:50am Dean: Mona Lisa: hugely overrated.
	11:50am scott: John Lennon asked Kubrick to direct The Beatles in 'The Lord of the Rings'.
	11:51am Hoboken Jack: I'm Team 2001/Lebowski but as long as someone says they don't like a movie (as opposed to saying it's bad) then I accept the opinion. Well, except about Lebowski, which if you have a shred of whimsy remaining in your soul you kinda gotta love.
	11:51am clarke: ha ha - not me, by any means. also, one of the things i love is the loving spoof of raymond chandler that Lebowski is.
	11:51am allie: Frank in Queens, that's a lot of comments. but as for me as you can see my replies are super late, and so I get frustrated and annoyed with myself. and so I just relegate myself to just reading. Granny spicy tuna, modest, I guess so a little.
	11:51am Hughie Considine: My wife has not ever been a stoner and she loves Lebowski. I mean, a movie like "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" you'd have to be a stoner ...
	11:51am paul: Dean: The movie or the painting?
	11:51am Michele with One "L": @Joe Belock Trans!
	11:51am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: i have never seen it in person, so i am not going to comment!
	11:52am Joe B: @Michele - I know you don't need any convincing!
	11:52am rw: Granny! My daughter and I went to the Louvre when she was about 15 and skipped the Mona Lisa entirely. We DID spend AT LEAST four hours in the Egyptology exhibit where she looked at EVERY SINGLE OBJECT and read EVERY SINGLE DIDACTIC PANEL!! Drove me a little nuts but I was pretty proud at the same time. She's now a grad student in archaeology!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: I did say "may", not "must".
	11:53am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe and Michele!
	11:53am Dean: paul: There's a movie?! Who knew? I meant the French progressive rock band. I have seen the painting in person way back in '84. I've never had a lot of affection of Leonardo's work, generally.
	11:53am Listener Baby: Man I love this one!!!!!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: Mona Lisa was great -- Bob Hoskins!
	11:53am Ira: @Joe - were you at the Meadowlands for the Neil Young show in which part 1 was Trans and part 2 was the Shocking Pinks? Great concert!
	11:53am Dean: ^affection for, duh
	11:54am paul: Hughie knew about the movie.
	11:54am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Just to make it clear— i used Mona Lisa as an example that most folx would recognize, that is all!
	11:54am Michele with One "L": Hoboken Jack HELLO!!!! @Ira - That sounds amazing.
	11:54am Torin: Cool song by Dave Rich. Never heard it before. What a singer!
	11:55am Joe B: @Ira - was my first Neil show. was hooked as the boos rained down on the Shocking Pinks!
	11:55am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Hughie Considine: on THAT one i have an opinion, and i agree with you!
	11:55am paul: RIP, Bonnie Pointer
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Michele! Great show last night. Driveway radio.
	11:56am clarke: saw the Trans tour, at the Saenger in new orleans - GREEEAAAT!!
	11:56am kpx: The big Lebowski, still abiding here, like it or not especially not.
	11:56am Dean: Truly, I'm cinema illiterate.
	11:56am rw: Ha! Granny, we understand. Hope you're doing well! The interesting thing to me about Mona Lisa was the huge crowd trying to get in to see it.
	11:56am Hoboken Jack: Is that overnight dj Ira? Hullo there!
	11:56am Joe B: I mean, if someone could not dig Don't Be Denied with '80s electronic drums, I can't help you!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Yogi Berra was definitely doing it.
	11:57am Hughie Considine: Right on, @Granny!
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Yo Greg!!
	11:57am David Shortell: Actually, I had read Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 before seeing the movie. It was written concurrently with the making of the film, and I was struck by the changes Kubrick ended up making. The asteroid belt incident didn't appear in the film, and Kubrick shortened the odyssey to end at Jupiter rather than Saturn. Originally, in the novel, there's no rescue attempt by Bowman because Poole is crushed to death! Bowman doesn't age rapidly at the odyssey's end as he did in the film--and, when transformed to the Star Child, he returns to Earth and destroys an orbiting warhead! I also read about a deleted film scene where Floyd visits a lunar pet shop to buy the bush baby his daughter asked for in their videophone call.
	11:58am paul: Speaking of The Mona Lisa, you should check out the movie "The Freshman." Very funny.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Granny ST, if there were more space I have lots of thoughts on the experience of seeing the Mona Lisa in the age of selfies and selfie sticks. It was ... uncomfortable. And not a scene for reflection or contemplation. But the power of the painting is undeniable.
	11:59am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): rw: i skipped it, too. my most powerful moment of viewing a painting was on a trip to Spain when i was 17. When i saw Goya's "Third of May" i burst into tears. And i'm sure i'd seen a picture of it in a book before.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: @David, Kubrick notoriously changed the content of every book he ever based a movie on. He seemed to feel little allegiance to the original source material.
	11:59am scott: Have you read 'The Sentinel'?
	12:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Handy Haversack: i'm surprised they allow selfie-sticks near that!
	12:00pm Michele with One "L": Thanks Greg! Fun for Shut Up, Weirdo to be back. I forgot how weird we are.
	12:01pm clarke: i think Barry Lyndon sticks close to the book, reputedly - i never read the book, tho.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: @Clarke, haven't read it either, but in general that was Kubrick's M.O.
	12:02pm clarke: agreed!
	12:02pm Dean: Back in '84 the crowds at the Louvre weren't so dense. But the place is so huge it's intimidating and overwhelming. When I lived in Southern California I had a great time heading to Pasadena's Norton Simon Museum on random weekends just to stroll through all or part of it. A manageable, impressive space, and it features one of my favorite paintings, Raphael's Madonna and Child with Book.
	12:03pm GFaulkner: Andrew G Doe mentioned on the Endless Harmony message board he wrote to Michael to set some Rocky facts straight. I'd love to see that email.
	12:03pm David Shortell: @scott Yes, Clarke's short story where his idea of the TMA monolith originated!
	12:03pm scott: Moog bass
	12:04pm rw: Granny, I had to look up that Goya painting. Intense. Unfortunately I can't remember ever being moved to tears by a painting. Far too often by music though.
	12:05pm Chop Scott: Digging the program Michael--solid gain structure!!
	12:06pm GFaulkner: The thought of joining the BB org in 76 terrifies me
	12:06pm scott: 'Guernica' by Pablo Picasso
	12:06pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: i've never been to NSM— i hope to check it out sometime (i visit folx in Pasadena every year)
	12:10pm Dean: By all means, do, GST! I haven't been there in decades, but I assume it's still an amazing collection.
	12:12pm David Shortell: @Hughie Considine I read Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" (my library's original American edition without a glossary to help me decipher the fictional slang!) before seeing the movie. I didn't know until years later that the USA version omitted the last chapter that was included in other countries' printings! I know Kubrick was American, but surely someone in the British cast or crew could've told him about the missing chapter! Maybe they did and Kubrick didn't care.
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: Interesting, @David. From what I know about him, Kubrick was extremely thorough. I can't imagine he wasn't aware that there were differences between the two editions, and it seems in character for him to take what he wanted and leave the rest. Stephen King hated The Shining, likening it to "a big beautiful Cadillac with no engine inside it."
	12:16pm clarke: and then he wrote Christine
	12:17pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ha HA!
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: Body by Plymouth. Soul by Satan.
	12:19pm clarke: these guys have very similar voices - just different phone connections
	12:25pm GFaulkner: That was wild.
	12:25pm clarke: good one!!
	12:26pm Steve Bonilla: ditto!
	12:26pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): another fantastic interview, thanks, Michael!
	12:27pm Blobs: Couldn't help but think Mike was searching for more in the answers he was getting in that interview, ha
	12:28pm clarke: just right.
	12:28pm Blobs: Mike asked very good, pointed questions throughout and I think very few things were directly answered
	12:29pm Ross T.: I post on a good old fashioned message board dedicated to Brian and the Beach Boys and they were all peeing their pants over this interview (in expectation of). But those listening are praising it -- so looks like you did a great job!
	12:29pm GFaulkner: Smiley Smile board or Endless Harmony?
	12:29pm clarke: better than sanjay's piece.
	12:30pm Ross T.: Smiley Smile.
	12:30pm GFaulkner: I am Junkstar on that board, haha.
	12:31pm Ross T.: Hey Junkstar! Aum Bop Diddit again :)
	12:31pm GFaulkner: Too funny.
	12:32pm Ross T.: Of all the gin joints....
	12:32pm dave wuz here: wolf's b day was wed
	12:32pm GFaulkner: I'm the singer in The Rabies, so here for our new single release/debut (and a Michael Shelley Show fan)
	12:33pm scott: Was Howlin' Wolf Captain Beefheart's vocal coach?
	12:33pm jake6573: Howlin Wolf discovered by Ike Turner
	12:33pm P-90: All this and Wolf too... an embarrassment of riches!
	12:34pm yerfriendpaul: Happy belated howlin’ wolf!
	12:34pm Ross T.: No shoot -- loved it and congratulations. And a fan of Mr. Shelley long time now. Unsurprisingly. Where I get to go from Rocky Pamplin to Howlin' Wolf. Via the Rabies.
	12:34pm clarke: saw the 'Q do this with big al singing, once.
	12:36pm scott: There goes another poor substitute for toilet paper.
	12:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think Little Steven doesn't do it for charity.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: can somebody please post links to the BB boards?
	12:38pm Pedro in Arlington: "A fake Donald Trump."
	12:38pm GFaulkner: Smiley Smile: smileysmile.net...
	12:38pm GFaulkner: Endless Harmony: endlessharmony.boards.net
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: $175 for Rappaport? Jeez....
	12:39pm scott: Same plot twist as 'Knives Out'.
	12:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Peter Noone is the best. Though even on this page he his last name gets autocorrected to No One.
	12:39pm GF2002: Good afternoon! Smiley Smile was listening.
	12:40pm clarke: they said i won!!!
	12:41pm Ross T.: And Guitar Fool is here :)
	12:41pm clarke: i think you're drunk.
	12:41pm GFaulkner: Amazing
	12:41pm GF2002: It was a good interview, very interesting! Maybe someday more of Rocky's original manuscript will be made available.
	12:42pm Jimmy Wipper: The Rabies are the artist of the month, Clarke.
	12:42pm Torin: Haha! I agree with Michael’s sage assessment of the Noone clip. Brilliant. Thanks Michael!
	12:42pm clarke: they said it was journey
	12:42pm P-90: There should be a Hermits cover band with a Noone impersonator called Peter No One.
	12:42pm GF2002: I enjoyed The Rabies music, btw. Really cool sounds!
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: wow, how often do you hear the word "cohere" in a pop song?
	12:43pm clarke: @Jimmy - i FINALLY listened to Look Now - LOVE it!!
	12:44pm GF2002: Thank you to Michael and WFMU for hosting this interview and for spinning all the great music today
	12:44pm Kevin alter: Michael's right; the Peter Noone clip is brilliant. Thanks Michael
	12:44pm Dennis Diken: lovin' it Mikey!
	12:45pm Hoboken Jack: It's a fear of ours too, Michael.
	12:46pm clarke: your friends told you that.
	12:46pm scott: N95 condoms?
	12:46pm Hackensack Slim: Is there a band called The Quaran-Teens yet?
	12:47pm clarke: hope not, but fear so.
	12:48pm Hoboken Jack: Hackensack: Brother JT created a Quaranteens band: www.instagram.com...
	12:48pm Ross T.: The Covert Night Teens
	12:49pm wolfette: THIS SONG. Don't come stoned,ok?
	12:52pm Hackensack Slim: Thanks Hoboken Jack. That's a good lookin' band.
	12:52pm Torin: Max ‘n’ Specs: amazing. Every single song on this show is great.
	12:54pm phat: Bernie Kosar is on cameo. I don't know why that makes me smile.
	12:54pm clarke: nice one, mate!! cheeahs. GAIN STRUCTCHAH HIGH!! gudday.
	12:55pm paul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjAantupsA

	12:56pm wolfette: The video, which is on YouTube, is even better.
	12:56pm dk50b: Hey Kevin & George, David Koenig here. Can't believe I missed the new single. You gonna play live when we're allowed to gather again?
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael -- loved it!
	12:58pm Jimmy Wipper: Wheat germ!
	12:58pm GFaulkner: David! Hey there. Connect with me on Twitter or Facebook if you're on there. We owe you a copy of the new single.
	12:58pm P-90: “Will the real Lewis Pitnik please stand up?”
	12:58pm paul: Stay away from the brown acid.
	12:58pm Ross T.: Brown acid hasn't gotten a fair shake since....
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Michael! Have a good week everyone!

	11:12am thornyredhead: Very clam, much pizza
	11:12am Montmaster J: Rabies! Very cool.
	11:13am thornyredhead: Why do some people have icons next to them? (mini radio, mini heart)
	11:13am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	11:14am Hughie Considine: @thorn, it means they contributed to the Pledge Drive.
	11:14am Hoboken Jack: Thorny, it's the level of support from the last fundraising marathon.
	11:15am Martinibomb: Sounding terrific! hi Michael
	11:16am Eddy in Australia: Hi, it's 1:15am, Saturday night/Sunday morning here.

	11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Shelleys & all!
	11:18am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): thornyredhead: the radio denotes a Swag-For-Life supporter—super fun way to support WFMU!
	11:18am Frank In Queens: Oh! My Juniper record arrived yesterday!
	11:19am thornyredhead: Oh ok
	11:20am irma: hey hippies
	11:20am Michael Shelley: Spazz played your track Frank!
	11:21am badass.bish190: I miss Stashu
	11:23am allie: not necessarily so. I'm a supporter, and I never heard of that before about the icons. but of course I'm a relative newbie.
	11:23am Frank In Queens: Ah, cool!
	11:24am Hughie Considine: How'd I miss the belch? dang
	11:24am GFaulkner: ding dang, you mean
	11:24am Frank In Queens: Allie, if you set up a log-in for the comments board and link with your listener number, it'll show the icons.
	11:25am Hughie Considine: hehe...I'd love to hear a mix of songs with coughs, belches, etc. They are plentiful!
	11:27am Listener Baby: Baby. James Hand?
	11:28am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): @allie and @thornyredhead: there's also an option to not show the icon, if you are a modest sort. :)
	11:29am Handy Haversack: The shipping dept. at MS HQ is on its game!
	11:30am Hughie Considine: Can surely relate to the waking up in the middle of the night and the subsequent brain churning...
	11:31am Frank In Queens: I used to hate it too when I was young, for exactly the reasons you just said Juniper! Now, I can appreciate it, but I don't ever need to see it again.
	11:31am Ira: Georgia saw 2001 for the first time on the seat-back screen on an airplane. She liked it.
	11:31am ?: Associate producer should read the "2001" book. It explains the plot in a way the movie doesn't.
	11:31am Handy Haversack: I tune in for the controversial takes! Recently rewatched FNL -- good stuff.
	11:32am myron feld: Friday Night Lights is one of the best ever.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: If a movie needs to have its plot explained in a book, that does not speak well for the movie.
	11:32am Michele with One "L": OBSESSED with the show Friday Night Lights!!!!!!
	11:32am paul: 2001 was released when I was 14. Saw it again many years later and liked it much more.
	11:32am ?: "Friday Night Lights" is terrific
	11:32am egould310: I once took three hits of acid and watched 2001 at the Cineradome one afternoon. Mind. Blown.
	11:33am Michele with One "L": Hi Juniper!
	11:33am rw: Hello! My son used to say, "Dad, can you put on a boring movie so I can fall asleep? But NOT 2001!!)
	11:33am Christina Low: It can be a boring film, I'll give Juniper that. However, I'm a HUGE fan of Kubrick and his placement of music.
	11:33am myron feld: The book "Friday Night Lights" is also highly recommended.
	11:33am jake6573: Can understand Juniper not liking, suffice to say it is one of the greatest movies ever.
	11:34am scott: Did someone program HAL to take over the mission?
	11:34am Dean: 2001 was released when I was 8 or 9. Saw it then and again ten years later at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Stunning, unsurpassed.
	11:34am Mr. Fine Wine: Sorry for the nitpicking, but that should be Chuck McLEAN on the playlist.
	11:34am Dean: (Caveat: I generally do not like movies.)
	11:34am Goyim in the AM: Saw 2001 for the first time when I was 11 when it was re-released in the 80s. I loved it instantly, my three same-age friends I saw it with were all Team Juniper.
	11:35am Marley P. Dogg: Michele! Great shut up weirdo last night!
	11:36am myron feld: @Fine Wine: Chuck McCann was pretty great in his own right.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Barry Lyndon might be a poor next choice then.
	11:36am rw: Is that garlic on that pizza?
	11:36am Greg from ZONE 5: WFMU is a democracy, and democracy is hard.
	11:36am Dean: Ha! I love Barry Lyndon, too.
	11:36am allie: Frank in Queens, maybe, there are two comments boards. the one you click on from the homepage as you say. but I use the one with the grey panels. I rarely chim in on the comments anyway.
	11:36am paul: Stanley Kubrick films are definitely not geared toward teens.
	11:36am GListener MW: !!’ This is amazing! (Adderall Girl)
	11:37am rw: FMU is a democracy? The Shining is perfect for teens!!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Not sure Allie. I'm always on the playlist of the show I'm listening to and comment there.
	11:37am happymaan: I'm just checking in. I'm currently the passenger in a car so I have no radio choosing privileges. wanted to say hi to Micheal and the rest of y'all. wish I could be listening now. be well.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: @Handy, Barry Lyndon has a fairly straightforward human plot. I would think it would go down better with someone who doesn't dig long takes without much dialogue or action.
	11:37am Dean: Oh, I don't know. Clockwork Orange can hit the spot for teens.
	11:38am Ralphus: “2001: A Space Odyssey” from 1968 is still the best science fiction film ever made. That’s an unfortunate fact. And, btw, it’s not a pretentious film - it’s a serious film, a drama, and way ahead if its time. Hell, they have iPads in that film. iPads!
	11:38am myron feld: I saw Clockwork Orange when I was 15 and I dug the heck out of it.
	11:38am Hoboken Jack: I'd like to hear a Rabies/Raybeats double shot. Or Rabies/Babys/Babies triple shot.
	11:38am scott: Kubrick hacked an camera and lens to get those 'Barry Lyndon' low and available light shots
	11:38am David Shortell: I disliked 2001 when I first saw it. I guess like most 12-year-olds, I was hoping for something more like Star Wars. Now it's a favorite.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: Deliverance and Clockwork Orange were shown as a double feature back in the day. Can you imagine sitting through Deliverance and then watching Clockwork?
	11:39am paul: You're all a bunch of droogies, then. :)
	11:39am Dean: I like Barry Lyndon precisely because it has almost no plot and it just sort of drifts along.
	11:39am Pedro in Arlington: Not a big fan of 2001 the year either. 2020 better have a strong finish beginning around Nov. 3.
	11:40am Ross T.: I salute the young people with the Beach Boys in their Top 5.
	11:40am Torin: Thank you Michael!!! Such a thrill! Loving the whole show btw.
	11:41am David Shortell: I heard the movie Barry Lyndon was lit with candlelight!
	11:41am Listener Baby: Saw Clockwork with my kid the other week. A solid hour too long. Yikes.
	11:42am Montmaster J: Well, that just like your opinion man.
	11:42am Mr. Fine Wine: With ya on Lebowski
	11:42am Dean: True, David Shortell. One or two scenes.
	11:42am Hughie Considine: I think Kubrick had special lenses made so he could use candlelight in the interior scenes...
	11:43am scott: The janitor in my building is also an acclaimed critic. My apologies to all janitors.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: Lebowski certainly contains one of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's greatest humorous turns.
	11:44am Christina Low: I could take or leave TBL as well. Others don't agree with my stance, but I stand by it.
	11:44am scott: ...the Dude abides.
	11:44am Hoboken Jack: Ah that's sad! I hadn't heard of James Hand before your interview (though I guess I saw him in Friday Night Lights) and I bought an album soon thereafter.
	11:45am paul: Lebowski and Pulp Fiction: hugely overrated.
	11:45am Joe B: I'm with Juniper re 2001. It can be both things - an all-time great film and one that I have no interest in ever watching again.
	11:45am Kevin: Thanks Michael. Fantastic show (and great to hear the Rabies on it!)
	11:46am scott: Who are you an apostle of, Paul?
	11:46am Ciggy: What's not to get about The Big Lebowski? The Dude Loves Credence and Hates The Eagles - as do I.
	11:46am clarke: you knew a Lebowski discussion would get me out of bed! in MY world TBL is more important than 2001 - but, they are both up there.
	11:46am paul: The Beatles
	11:47am Handy Haversack: I think Stalker also ought to be there in the best SF movies conversation.
	11:47am clarke: ..also dude: the bongo feet.
	11:48am Mailman Tom: We went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey twice at the Capital Theater in NYC back when it premiered in 1968. One of the greatest films ever made, IMO.
	11:48am Listener Baby: Whoa??
	11:48am Frank In Queens: You may have to be or may have to have been a stoner to be a fan of Lebowski.
	11:49am paul: Michael and Juniper: Watch Paths of Glory. Early Kubrick masterpiece.
	11:49am Frank In Queens: *had to have been
	11:49am clarke: nope frank - it is just a good film
	11:49am Joe B: I'm on board with Lebowski, but, like Neil Young's '80s albums, I'm not going to try to convert anyone. Your loss.
	11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i've personally enjoyed all of the movies mentioned here, and most of them i do not wish to watch again. I'm of the opinion that if you didn't see the movie in a cinema on a huge screen with at least decent sound, you didn't really see it (just like if you saw a picture of the Mona Lisa—even in a beautifully printed coffee table book— you didn't really see the painting) <3
	11:49am Frank In Queens: Oh, I'm a fan clarke! I'm also an ex-stoner.
	11:50am Dean: Mona Lisa: hugely overrated.
	11:50am scott: John Lennon asked Kubrick to direct The Beatles in 'The Lord of the Rings'.
	11:51am Hoboken Jack: I'm Team 2001/Lebowski but as long as someone says they don't like a movie (as opposed to saying it's bad) then I accept the opinion. Well, except about Lebowski, which if you have a shred of whimsy remaining in your soul you kinda gotta love.
	11:51am clarke: ha ha - not me, by any means. also, one of the things i love is the loving spoof of raymond chandler that Lebowski is.
	11:51am allie: Frank in Queens, that's a lot of comments. but as for me as you can see my replies are super late, and so I get frustrated and annoyed with myself. and so I just relegate myself to just reading. Granny spicy tuna, modest, I guess so a little.
	11:51am Hughie Considine: My wife has not ever been a stoner and she loves Lebowski. I mean, a movie like "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" you'd have to be a stoner ...
	11:51am paul: Dean: The movie or the painting?
	11:51am Michele with One "L": @Joe Belock Trans!
	11:51am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: i have never seen it in person, so i am not going to comment!
	11:52am Joe B: @Michele - I know you don't need any convincing!
	11:52am rw: Granny! My daughter and I went to the Louvre when she was about 15 and skipped the Mona Lisa entirely. We DID spend AT LEAST four hours in the Egyptology exhibit where she looked at EVERY SINGLE OBJECT and read EVERY SINGLE DIDACTIC PANEL!! Drove me a little nuts but I was pretty proud at the same time. She's now a grad student in archaeology!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: I did say "may", not "must".
	11:53am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe and Michele!
	11:53am Dean: paul: There's a movie?! Who knew? I meant the French progressive rock band. I have seen the painting in person way back in '84. I've never had a lot of affection of Leonardo's work, generally.
	11:53am Listener Baby: Man I love this one!!!!!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: Mona Lisa was great -- Bob Hoskins!
	11:53am Ira: @Joe - were you at the Meadowlands for the Neil Young show in which part 1 was Trans and part 2 was the Shocking Pinks? Great concert!
	11:53am Dean: ^affection for, duh
	11:54am paul: Hughie knew about the movie.
	11:54am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Just to make it clear— i used Mona Lisa as an example that most folx would recognize, that is all!
	11:54am Michele with One "L": Hoboken Jack HELLO!!!! @Ira - That sounds amazing.
	11:54am Torin: Cool song by Dave Rich. Never heard it before. What a singer!
	11:55am Joe B: @Ira - was my first Neil show. was hooked as the boos rained down on the Shocking Pinks!
	11:55am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Hughie Considine: on THAT one i have an opinion, and i agree with you!
	11:55am paul: RIP, Bonnie Pointer
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Michele! Great show last night. Driveway radio.
	11:56am clarke: saw the Trans tour, at the Saenger in new orleans - GREEEAAAT!!
	11:56am kpx: The big Lebowski, still abiding here, like it or not especially not.
	11:56am Dean: Truly, I'm cinema illiterate.
	11:56am rw: Ha! Granny, we understand. Hope you're doing well! The interesting thing to me about Mona Lisa was the huge crowd trying to get in to see it.
	11:56am Hoboken Jack: Is that overnight dj Ira? Hullo there!
	11:56am Joe B: I mean, if someone could not dig Don't Be Denied with '80s electronic drums, I can't help you!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Yogi Berra was definitely doing it.
	11:57am Hughie Considine: Right on, @Granny!
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Yo Greg!!
	11:57am David Shortell: Actually, I had read Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 before seeing the movie. It was written concurrently with the making of the film, and I was struck by the changes Kubrick ended up making. The asteroid belt incident didn't appear in the film, and Kubrick shortened the odyssey to end at Jupiter rather than Saturn. Originally, in the novel, there's no rescue attempt by Bowman because Poole is crushed to death! Bowman doesn't age rapidly at the odyssey's end as he did in the film--and, when transformed to the Star Child, he returns to Earth and destroys an orbiting warhead! I also read about a deleted film scene where Floyd visits a lunar pet shop to buy the bush baby his daughter asked for in their videophone call.
	11:58am paul: Speaking of The Mona Lisa, you should check out the movie "The Freshman." Very funny.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Granny ST, if there were more space I have lots of thoughts on the experience of seeing the Mona Lisa in the age of selfies and selfie sticks. It was ... uncomfortable. And not a scene for reflection or contemplation. But the power of the painting is undeniable.
	11:59am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): rw: i skipped it, too. my most powerful moment of viewing a painting was on a trip to Spain when i was 17. When i saw Goya's "Third of May" i burst into tears. And i'm sure i'd seen a picture of it in a book before.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: @David, Kubrick notoriously changed the content of every book he ever based a movie on. He seemed to feel little allegiance to the original source material.
	11:59am scott: Have you read 'The Sentinel'?
	12:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Handy Haversack: i'm surprised they allow selfie-sticks near that!
	12:00pm Michele with One "L": Thanks Greg! Fun for Shut Up, Weirdo to be back. I forgot how weird we are.
	12:01pm clarke: i think Barry Lyndon sticks close to the book, reputedly - i never read the book, tho.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: @Clarke, haven't read it either, but in general that was Kubrick's M.O.
	12:02pm clarke: agreed!
	12:02pm Dean: Back in '84 the crowds at the Louvre weren't so dense. But the place is so huge it's intimidating and overwhelming. When I lived in Southern California I had a great time heading to Pasadena's Norton Simon Museum on random weekends just to stroll through all or part of it. A manageable, impressive space, and it features one of my favorite paintings, Raphael's Madonna and Child with Book.
	12:03pm GFaulkner: Andrew G Doe mentioned on the Endless Harmony message board he wrote to Michael to set some Rocky facts straight. I'd love to see that email.
	12:03pm David Shortell: @scott Yes, Clarke's short story where his idea of the TMA monolith originated!
	12:03pm scott: Moog bass
	12:04pm rw: Granny, I had to look up that Goya painting. Intense. Unfortunately I can't remember ever being moved to tears by a painting. Far too often by music though.
	12:05pm Chop Scott: Digging the program Michael--solid gain structure!!
	12:06pm GFaulkner: The thought of joining the BB org in 76 terrifies me
	12:06pm scott: 'Guernica' by Pablo Picasso
	12:06pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: i've never been to NSM— i hope to check it out sometime (i visit folx in Pasadena every year)
	12:10pm Dean: By all means, do, GST! I haven't been there in decades, but I assume it's still an amazing collection.
	12:12pm David Shortell: @Hughie Considine I read Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" (my library's original American edition without a glossary to help me decipher the fictional slang!) before seeing the movie. I didn't know until years later that the USA version omitted the last chapter that was included in other countries' printings! I know Kubrick was American, but surely someone in the British cast or crew could've told him about the missing chapter! Maybe they did and Kubrick didn't care.
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: Interesting, @David. From what I know about him, Kubrick was extremely thorough. I can't imagine he wasn't aware that there were differences between the two editions, and it seems in character for him to take what he wanted and leave the rest. Stephen King hated The Shining, likening it to "a big beautiful Cadillac with no engine inside it."
	12:16pm clarke: and then he wrote Christine
	12:17pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ha HA!
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: Body by Plymouth. Soul by Satan.
	12:19pm clarke: these guys have very similar voices - just different phone connections
	12:25pm GFaulkner: That was wild.
	12:25pm clarke: good one!!
	12:26pm Steve Bonilla: ditto!
	12:26pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): another fantastic interview, thanks, Michael!
	12:27pm Blobs: Couldn't help but think Mike was searching for more in the answers he was getting in that interview, ha
	12:28pm clarke: just right.
	12:28pm Blobs: Mike asked very good, pointed questions throughout and I think very few things were directly answered
	12:29pm Ross T.: I post on a good old fashioned message board dedicated to Brian and the Beach Boys and they were all peeing their pants over this interview (in expectation of). But those listening are praising it -- so looks like you did a great job!
	12:29pm GFaulkner: Smiley Smile board or Endless Harmony?
	12:29pm clarke: better than sanjay's piece.
	12:30pm Ross T.: Smiley Smile.
	12:30pm GFaulkner: I am Junkstar on that board, haha.
	12:31pm Ross T.: Hey Junkstar! Aum Bop Diddit again :)
	12:31pm GFaulkner: Too funny.
	12:32pm Ross T.: Of all the gin joints....
	12:32pm dave wuz here: wolf's b day was wed
	12:32pm GFaulkner: I'm the singer in The Rabies, so here for our new single release/debut (and a Michael Shelley Show fan)
	12:33pm scott: Was Howlin' Wolf Captain Beefheart's vocal coach?
	12:33pm jake6573: Howlin Wolf discovered by Ike Turner
	12:33pm P-90: All this and Wolf too... an embarrassment of riches!
	12:34pm yerfriendpaul: Happy belated howlin’ wolf!
	12:34pm Ross T.: No shoot -- loved it and congratulations. And a fan of Mr. Shelley long time now. Unsurprisingly. Where I get to go from Rocky Pamplin to Howlin' Wolf. Via the Rabies.
	12:34pm clarke: saw the 'Q do this with big al singing, once.
	12:36pm scott: There goes another poor substitute for toilet paper.
	12:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think Little Steven doesn't do it for charity.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: can somebody please post links to the BB boards?
	12:38pm Pedro in Arlington: "A fake Donald Trump."
	12:38pm GFaulkner: Smiley Smile: smileysmile.net...
	12:38pm GFaulkner: Endless Harmony: endlessharmony.boards.net
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: $175 for Rappaport? Jeez....
	12:39pm scott: Same plot twist as 'Knives Out'.
	12:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Peter Noone is the best. Though even on this page he his last name gets autocorrected to No One.
	12:39pm GF2002: Good afternoon! Smiley Smile was listening.
	12:40pm clarke: they said i won!!!
	12:41pm Ross T.: And Guitar Fool is here :)
	12:41pm clarke: i think you're drunk.
	12:41pm GFaulkner: Amazing
	12:41pm GF2002: It was a good interview, very interesting! Maybe someday more of Rocky's original manuscript will be made available.
	12:42pm Jimmy Wipper: The Rabies are the artist of the month, Clarke.
	12:42pm Torin: Haha! I agree with Michael’s sage assessment of the Noone clip. Brilliant. Thanks Michael!
	12:42pm clarke: they said it was journey
	12:42pm P-90: There should be a Hermits cover band with a Noone impersonator called Peter No One.
	12:42pm GF2002: I enjoyed The Rabies music, btw. Really cool sounds!
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: wow, how often do you hear the word "cohere" in a pop song?
	12:43pm clarke: @Jimmy - i FINALLY listened to Look Now - LOVE it!!
	12:44pm GF2002: Thank you to Michael and WFMU for hosting this interview and for spinning all the great music today
	12:44pm Kevin alter: Michael's right; the Peter Noone clip is brilliant. Thanks Michael
	12:44pm Dennis Diken: lovin' it Mikey!
	12:45pm Hoboken Jack: It's a fear of ours too, Michael.
	12:46pm clarke: your friends told you that.
	12:46pm scott: N95 condoms?
	12:46pm Hackensack Slim: Is there a band called The Quaran-Teens yet?
	12:47pm clarke: hope not, but fear so.
	12:48pm Hoboken Jack: Hackensack: Brother JT created a Quaranteens band: www.instagram.com...
	12:48pm Ross T.: The Covert Night Teens
	12:49pm wolfette: THIS SONG. Don't come stoned,ok?
